With theSavvySuite, EnBW has optimized IT service delivery

EnBW Delivers 50% of All IT Services Without Manual Intervention

EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG is one of Germany’s largest energy supply companies.

Its core business includes the supply of electricity, gas, and water. With over 24,000 employees, EnBW is a key player in the German energy market.

Challenges

EnBW faced inefficient and time-consuming processes in providing IT services to its employees:

Long Waiting Times

Before implementing the self-service portal, employees had to wait up to three days for their paper-based requests to be processed.

Employee Frustration

The process lacked transparency, leading to dissatisfaction and a negative perception of the IT department.

Inadequate Asset Management:

The IT department had no precise overview of existing IT assets.

Increasing Complexity:

Growing customization of IT services made procurement and management more difficult.

Lösung

EnBW implementierte ein Self-Service-Portal auf Basis der SavvySuite von syscovery,
um die IT-Servicebereitstellung zu optimieren. Die Lösung bot folgende Vorteile

Automatisierung und Beschleunigung

Mitarbeiter können IT-Services nun einfach und schnell über das Portal bestellen. 50% aller IT-Services werden nun vollständig automatisiert und ohne manuelles Eingreifen ausgeliefert.

Automatisierte Genehmigungsworkflows

Die Software bildet die Genehmigungsworkflows der einzelnen EnBW-Gesellschaften ab, was man auch als “Governance” bezeichnet.

Transparenz und Nachverfolgbarkeit

Der Bestellstatus ist für die Mitarbeiter jederzeit einsehbar.

Verbesserte Bestandsführung

Die Verantwortung für die Bestandsführung wurde auf die Anwender übertragen.

Integration mit bestehenden Systemen

Die Savvy Suite wurde in die Microsoft-Systemlandschaft der EnBW integriert und an SAP angebunden.
